Liberty Mutual is our insurance company and we have nothing but praise for how they have handled our issues. The rental was nice but just not our own home. Right now we are in the process of waiting on yet another arbor permit to take out two more huge pine trees and a smaller oak that was damaged by Hurricane Irma. This is the third go around with the arbor service. Just too expense to have everything done at one time. Hurricane season started June 1 and we had wanted the work completed before the start of the new season. Don’t even know if the city is going to let the trees be removed at this point. Hope to get it all resolved by the first of next week.
Thanks again, Patty. I always look forward to your additions to these forums no matter the topic. Have received so much good advice from your posts.

I also had a blender (Osterizer? Hamiltom Beach?) that was about the same vintage as the Cusinart, and it finally gave out. I thought the Vitamix was overkill for the way I use blenders, and so I bought a Ninja which was a piece of cr@p. It was difficult to clean in that the blade is tall and razor sharp. It does not fit easily into the dishwasher, in large part because there is no way to angle it in without risking slicing something it's touching. So I washed it by hand, gingerly, using a brush. It also has a long thin hole in the bottom and gunk gets into and it is very difficult to clean. I used Q-tips and bamboo skewers, with dubious results. In any case, it simply quit working after about a year. I'm planning to replace it with a Breville.
